Never Go Home (Angel of Sadness)
On and On I'mma never go home
Just the lovely words of another sad song
Morning lust is the exchange of labor for cash
Exhaustion wares on me
Only concerning those of you whom favor my ashes
Cold winter floors
Old secrets that remain tender behind doors
Yes I'm tired, I'm weary
Forever admired, so don't shed a tear for me
Perhaps I just happen to be
Coasting on the right side of the tide
Arrogance and misery provided cushion for my hide
On and on I don't wanna go home
Just the lonely words of another sad song
Shadows are the reflections in this worlds weary mirror
I'll fade with the dusk
If this dreary picture gets any clearer
One can only carry the torch for so long
Before these cold winter nights smother their flame
Lay a brother of shame
The mother of a child without her name
Seems I drown myself in days of liquor
Only to never be drunken
Look to god and ask, can I not even torture myself
Fortune to my left, I simply adore myself
Sometimes we already no the end
Every life is a story, and ever story is a life lived with sin
On and on I'mma never go home
Just the lovely words of anther sad song
